Sentry configuration with Amazon SES

Question

There seems to be nothing on the web about this...

How do you parametrize sentry.conf.py to use Amazon SES backend for emails?

Right now, in a Django project, we use:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_ses.SESBackend'
EMAIL_USE_SSL = True

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'key'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'secret'

AWS_SES_REGION_NAME = 'eu-west-1'
AWS_SES_REGION_ENDPOINT = 'email.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'

Sentry is a bit different, anyone has insights?

Thanks a lot,

You can configure sentry to send emails using a SMTP Server and you can obtain SMTP credentials from SES.

To set up SES for using the SMTP interface follow this guide: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-smtp.html

Then configure your sentry installation to use those credentials (s. https://docs.sentry.io/server/config/#mail)

Example config.yml:

mail.backend: 'smtp'
mail.host: 'email-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'
mail.port: 587
mail.username: 'myuser'
mail.password: 'mypassword'
mail.use-tls: true
# The email address to send on behalf of
mail.from: '[email protected]'
